Providing intricate details on creating a pretty simple food item, Austin director Robert Rodriguez takes the viewer through a ten-minute tutorial on making the perfect breakfast taco.
While working on DVD material for Sin City, late nights created mean cravings, and what does every Austinite crave when it's not quite dinner, not quite breakfast? That's right.
Using a recipe borrowed from his grandmother, Rodriquez doesn't just throw eggs on a tortilla with one measly strip of bacon (Taco Shack we're looking at you.)
Watch the video and gain a good lesson on an Austin favorite. It's done so well, it's practically Food Network-ready. He may not be as fun to watch as Giada De Laurentiis, but he seems to have championed the art and as fellow breakfast taco nerds, we approve.
Thanks to Taco Journalism for the tip!

Is there any place in Austin that makes its own tortillas FRESH? So far I have only found Changos and they are pretty expensive and out of the way for me.
I think Las Manitas does, and I know I've seen a tortilla cooking station at Guerros.
Two of the best places to get handmade flour tortillas is [Rosita's] Al Pastor on E. Riverside and TaquerÃa El Rinconsito on Manor & Airport.
the best handmade tortillas that i've had in town are from Borrego de Oro on South Congress near 71, across from Post Office. The tortillas are Amazing -- as is the mole and guacamole -- but, naturally, i did not use them to make breakfast tacos.

there's always the pink taco :)
that is one sexy man
Taco Shack is a disgrace -- food is bland as manilla paper. Taco Shmuck.
I'd like to see some footage of how you hit on Marilyn Manson's ex-girlfriend and then ditch your wife without losing all the loot generated by Spy Kids 1-3. Pretty tricky if your wife was also the producer on those projects...

This was on BoingBoing three weeks ago. Kind of
makes you wonder how old some of the other stuff on here is...
The video does make me hungry though...
Thanks for the tips ya'll.
I might catch heat for this one:
The H-E-Bs (the ones with tortillerias in house, mind - 41st RR and S. CongrOlforf) have got some bangin' tortillas. Fresh yo. Fresh.
doods. go to el milagro on east 6th street. like 2 blocks east of i-35. go straight to the source, the best tortilleria in town yos!
If his new GF has ever eaten a whole one of those without then throwing it back up he can armstrong me in his next flick.
oh, I wish I wouldn't have looked up "armstrong" on urban dictionary. the horror.
